According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, the Washington Nationals have offered to trade Nick Johnson to the Red Sox for Manny Delcarmen.
Nick Johnson/Manny Delcarmen Swap
Even though the Red Sox seemingly have a ton of depth in their bullpen, I'd rather keep it that way. While Nick Johnson has had a fantastic 2009 and would allow the team more defensive flexibility, he has a history of injury concerns. If the Sox were to trade for Johnson, it would also signal the front office's belief that the end is near for Big Papi. I am still holding out hope for the resurgence of Papi. Regardless, though, Ortiz makes $12.5 million and will not be used in a utility role making that much money. Due to his declining production, I don't see a team trading for him, either.
This trade is unlikely to happen.
